+# How to generate bcrypt
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Python 3
+- bcrypt library
+
+## Prerequisites Installation
+### Windows
+Download and install Python 3 from [official website](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
+Check "Add python.exe to PATH" before running "Install Now".
+
+Open Command Prompt (win + r, type "cmd" and press enter) and run the following command to install bcrypt library:
+```bash
+pip install bcrypt
+```
+
+### Debian based distributions
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
+# If you use have install python using apt
+sudo apt-get install python3-bcrypt
+# If don't install python using apt
+pip3 install bcrypt
+# If you got externally-managed-environment error
+pip3 install bcrypt --break-system-packages
+```
+
+## Generating bcrypt
+### Do not name the file `bcrypt.py` as it will cause an error.
+Create a python file with the following content:
+```python
+import bcrypt
+password = b"your_password_here" # DO NOT REMOVE THE b
+hashed = bcrypt.hashpw(password, bcrypt.gensalt())
+print(f'The hashed password is: {hashed.decode()}')
+
+docker_interpolation= hashed.decode().replace("$", "$$")
+print(f'The hashed password for an docker env is: {docker_interpolation}')
+```
+
+Replace `your_password_here` with the password you want to hash.
+
+Run the python file and you will get the hashed password.
+Copy the 2nd line of the output (after the : ) and use it as your hashed password.
